A public minibus (PM) is a common public mode of transport in Samarinda.〔Kompas Gramedia. "()." ''Samarinda adakah kereta yang akan lewat.'' Retrieved on 2014-10-25.〕 It mainly serves the area that standard Samarinda bus lines do not reach. It is colloquially known as a minibus or, in Indonesian, a ''Taksi''. It is defined as a kind of share taxi. Minibuses carry a maximum of 8 seated passengers; no standing passengers are allowed. Minibuses typically offer a fast and efficient transportation solution due to their small size, limited carrying capacity, frequency and diverse range of routes. ==Overview== Minibuses in Samarinda are distinguished by the colours, which denote different routes. Most of the minibuses run on Petrol. By 2006, there were 1,522 public minibuses in Samarinda.〔Balitbang Provinsi Kaltim. "()." ''Pelayanan transportasi angkutan kota di Samarinda.'' Retrieved on 2014-10-25.〕 A passenger wishing to get on a minibus simply hails the minibus from the street kerb like a taxi. To alight from a minibus, a passenger customarily calls out to the driver where they wish to get off. The minibus operate a non-scheduled service, with fixed routes. Passengers pay just before they alight, and change for cash payment may be available, or may have a small amount deducted off the amount of change for the inconvenience (of giving change). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public minibus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
